This invention relates to a new apparatus for steaming wheat or othergrain preparatory to its introduction to a grind-mill, with the objectof thereby toughening the bran and preventing the hour from beingspecked by small particles of the bran. The invention consists in thearrangement of a vessel containing a perforated inclined partition, overwhich the grain moves in its passage to the mill, and through which thesteam reaches the grain.

A in the drawing represents a vessel, made of sheet metal or othermaterial, of prismatic or other convenient form, and containing aninclined perforated partition, a, which divides it into twocompartments, b and d. The compartment bis large on top and small at thelower end, and open at both ends. The compartment d, quite narrow on topand large at the bottom, is closed at both ends. Steam enters thecompartment d through a pipe, e, and products of condensation can bewithdrawn through a pipe, f, the lower part of the partition a being notperforated, in order to allow some water to gather in d without ilowin ginto b. The pipe e has a suitable stop-,cock to per- Having thusdescribed our invention, We
